This can be caused by one of the following:
* The name of an existing report server contains extended ASCII characters.
* The problem occurs if you rename the "Reports" and " ReportServer" virtual directories.

Causes and Fixes
Using the SQL Server Management Studio interface open the CFG_ItemValue table of the ION_Network database.
Locate the following entries under teh Value column and replace the instances of [ServerName] with the actual computer name and [ReporterServer] with the actual ReportServer virtual root name.
For example:
| Before | After |
| http://[ServerName]/IONReportDataService/ReportDataService.asmx | http://IONSERVER/IONReportDataService/ReportDataService.asmx |
| http://[ServerName]/[ReportServer] | http://IONSERVER/ReportServer$ION |
| http://[ServerName]/[ReportServer]/reportservice2005.asmx | http://IONSERVER/ReportServer$ION/reportservice2005.asmx |
| http://[ServerName]/[ReportServer]/ReportExecution2005.asmx | http://IONSERVER/ReportServer$ION/ReportExecution2005.asmx |
Close the table and now try to install the report packs. The report packs should now install successfully.
